The Slaughter Rule

There's an excellent film called The Slaughter Rule. In little league we called it the Mercy Rule. The game ends early if it's obvious that one team has such an advantage that the other team will never come back to achieve victory.

I called the Mercy Rule on the Woke You Up girl tonight. While I've been living the Jimmy V "Don't give up; don't ever give up" lifestyle, it just became obvious that she was a war that I'd never win, because I was so far behind.

Soooooooo the Mercy Rule went into effect. And I tossed a ten-spot on the bar and walked out. And I listened to http://www.entertainmentweakly.com/wokeyouup.mp3 the whole way home and sang along.

You'll have that in the big city.
